The Polar Express™

Polar Express™ is sold out for 2015.
In spite of the
addition of several extra trains with several thousand seats, strong
demand for this popular event means that some of our valued guests
will be disappointed that they didn't get tickets.

Classes of Tickets

Price is per rider, ages 2 and up. Only ticketed
passengers will have seats reserved.
Children under age 2 must ride on a adult's lap, or must have
their own ticket.

Read along with the story as the train makes its round-trip
journey to the North Pole. Meet Santa and enjoy caroling, hot
chocolate, surprises and a treat. And, for those who believe,
a special gift for each child.

The train ride is approximately an hour in length.
Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas!
